The Gardens on Video

Exploring the Gardens

A self-guided walking tour is an ideal way to explore the huge variety of plants to be found in the Botanic Gardens. The Walking Tour Brochure 2016 can be downloaded here and includes a map of the main features of the garden and a walking path which connects them.

A special display has also been developed at the Gardens which highlights many varieties of Australian Native Grasses.

The Orange Botanic Gardens Master Plan has been prepared to guide the development of the Gardens into the future. It sets direction for education opportunities for residents and visitors of Orange, and sets the groundwork for a botanic garden which responds to community and biodiversity needs.

Art at the Gardens

The Botanic Gardens has a significant collection of outdoor sculpture, including works by some of Australia's best known sculptors. When Bert Flugelman died in 2013, the spotlight fell on his sometimes controversial works in major cities around Australia. In this video, former Orange Regional Gallery director Alan Sisley reflects on the 'Federation Arch' at the Orange Botanic Gardens. Alan Sisley died in 2014.
